With a ~lot of~ little help from a friend at xda I managed to get my device to boot an engineering rom. Would love to give this version a run, but the xda link provided in your post points to an abandoned rom and the recovery linked there leads into a 404.

Which recovery do I need / where can I find it?

Thank you!

you could use the boot.img included into the Ronnz’s .ZIP :

piero@HP-p6-2038fr:~/Téléchargements$ ./payload-dumper-go -l e-3.2-a15-20251116-UNOFFICIAL-fleur.zip
Please wait while extracting payload.bin from the archive.
payload.bin: /tmp/payload_956068570.bin
Payload Version: 2
Payload Manifest Length: 135052
Payload Manifest Signature Length: 267
Found partitions:
audio_dsp (823 kB), boot (67 MB), dtbo (8.4 MB), gz (2.9 MB), lk (1.7 MB), logo (4.1 MB), md1img (53 MB), pi_img (8.2 kB), preloader_raw (364 kB), product (2.0 GB), scp (872 kB), spmfw (20 kB), sspm (680 kB), system (1.8 GB), system_ext (613 MB), tee (2.6 MB), vbmeta (8.2 kB), vbmeta_system (4.1 kB), vbmeta_vendor (4.1 kB), vendor (379 MB)

following instructions from the dev :

First time installation:

Flash The Provided Recovery From Fastboot
Inside The Recovery, Wipe - Metadata, Data & Cache
Flash The Rom Using Sdcard Or Sideload Using ADB
Format Data
Reboot To System

Update installation:

Reboot To Recovery
Flash The Rom Using Sdcard Or Sideload Using ADB
Wipe Cache Inside Recovery
Reboot To System

you can just boot to recovery without flashing it :
fastboot boot recovery.img instead of fastboot flash boot recovery.img

using official TWRP : Download twrp-3.7.1_12-0-fleur.img

or Unofficial OrangeFox : OrangeFox Recovery - Unofficial - Browse /fleur at SourceForge.net or newer : Poco M4 Pro/Redmi Note 11S - Browse /OFOX at SourceForge.net

Thx, Piero!

I would not recommend, however, flashing TWRP! It bricked my phone and I had to resort to professional help to even get it to open fastboot again! (Apparently TWRP somehow messed with some partitions inside the phone so it wouldn‘t boot anything anymore. See my xda thread here: Thread ‚Help needed - unbrick via mtkclient‘)

I‘ll try to find the boot.img inside the payload. So far I haven‘t been able to successfully do so via payload dumper.

Are you positive that this boot.img works as intended? Why would @ronnz98 always link to other builds (and their respective recoveries) over at xda when publishing here?

Sorry for all the fuzz, simply hoping to provide guidance for people in the same spot.

put the payload-dumper-go binary and the .ZIP into the same folder,
open a terminal from there, and add the ./ prefix :

./payload-dumper-go -p dtbo,boot e-3.2-a15-20251116-UNOFFICIAL-fleur.zip

sould work because according to Install /e/OS on a Xiaomi Redmi Note 10S - “rosemary”, you will also need to flash dtbo.img prior.

it is GPL license requirement to link sources, also some dev use custom recoveries and / or instructions
